Do you know when I do that?
Go on. This is so sad. When I lay what? I do that. Do you know when I do that? Go on.
This is so sad.
When I lay in bed, I've got my pregnancy pillow and I lay one like,
and I face out where I know the baby will be.
Yeah.
And I lay there, I think, oh my God, he's actually just going to be laying there.
Oh, do you?
It's so weird.
I know, it's weird.
I had a dream the other night that I had him and he was really small and just beautiful
but he was actually
like a little monkey
like an actual
little chimpanzee
oh okay
like that I realised
the next day
when I thought about
the dream
but in the dream
he was just a little chimpanzee
he was so cute
to be quite honest
we're all chimps
but he was
he was very cute
sorry

apologies

I had a wonderful picture.
Oh, I'm really, really sorry.
You know who you are.

I'm not going to be able to find the name now.
But someone just screenshotted.
Hayley.
You have not.
From Hartford. You've not just remembered that
i have you showed me hayley from hartford this is why she's successful because everything remains
in her brain i don't forget anything it's amazing hayley from hartford sent me a screenshot a lovely
photo of a sign that just said LACMAGEN.
There you go.
Very good.
It was really, really good.
We haven't had a Turkish for a while, actually.
No, we haven't, actually.
I was thinking we might
have a takeaway this evening.
But Ellie has been really kind
and made us a lovely bolognese.
Well, I thought
I'm at home today.
Get it on, get it done
and once we're done this
at least we can go
and enjoy it. Yeah. The kids, the girls enjoyed it. Yeah. The girls get it done. And once we're done this, at least we can go and enjoy it.
Yeah.
The kids, the girls enjoyed it.
Yeah.
The girls had a bit.
Eliza and Joni have just eaten it.
I've been like a slave.
I've done the pasta, done the bolognese.
Then I'm dishing it up.
Joni's like, can I have a water?
And then I thought, I don't know why I'm moaning
because I've sort of got to get used to this.
This is my life.
Practice it.
This is it.
Yeah, water, knife and fork, cheese.
Yeah.
Done. But no, all good. No, thank you for that. I'm really looking forward to it. Net water, knife and fork cheese. Yeah. Done.
But no, all good.
No, thank you for that.
I'm really looking forward to it.
It'll be lovely.
Very welcome.
I had a very long day, long day today,
and I have to tell this story before we start any correspondence
or any sort of episode.
I was on the A10 coming home.
Traffic was rough today, actually.
I don't know why, everywhere was rough
Took about an hour
Loads of traffic on the A10
And as you do
You look, don't you, look round
There is a lady in a grey Ford Fiesta
Her seat
Is at an angle as if she's going to sleep
I swear this is not
I'm telling you She's, she's going to sleep i swear this is not i'm telling you she's she's i don't know
how she couldn't have seen she could just possibly see over the steering wheel but more kind of not
in front of her but kind of mid sky and we were in the traffic she had no hands on the steering wheel
was laying back on her phone wow just on her phone and in the madness
i did think i'm gonna collect i'm gonna get my phone and take a photo but that's also illegal
so i thought i can't do that but i had to let you know that's what she was doing and for ages i
couldn't i couldn't take my eyes off her i just kept looking around And she did She was absolutely fixated On her phone With two hands
Laying back
Wow
In a traffic jam
And then to top it off
She's put the phone down
I thought
Oh
At least she's put the phone down
Because it was aggravating me
What's she done?
Closed her eyes
Sorry?
Closed her eyes
Literally
Had a power nap
Oh leave off
Her eyes were closed
And I thought
I don't know what i'm gonna do here
i thought for a minute i thought am i gonna beep i'm frightened the life out of her and i thought
you know i'm just not gonna get involved this evening i just wasn't in the mood but yeah she
was absolutely on her phone as if she was in her as if she was in her lounge on the sofa on the
phone that's so bad though close their eyes and then the you know
everything started she didn't put the seat up she was just wake up she just knew yeah i mean
maybe she was just shutting her eyes i know but you can't do that no driving and you know what i
went to i went out and i was on the m25 on saturday and there was a bit of traffic as there is yeah
and the amount of people I saw on their phones
just absolutely blew my mind.
It's crazy.
And even when we started picking up speed,
I was trying to move into a different lane,
but they're not looking because they're looking down.
I can see they're looking down.
That is madness.
Honestly, it was crazy.
Or then you're in traffic and you're trying to sort of move
because you're coming up to a roundabout.
We got off at Lakeside, it was carnage, so much traffic everywhere.
There's all these roundabouts and you've got to get into the left lane
because you need to go left.
But no one's looking, everyone's on their phone,
so you can't get anywhere.
It's mad.
But that's, I mean, yeah, that's a whole number story.
That's a huge penalty now. But no one gives a fuck. yeah, that's a whole, whole number story. That's a huge penalty now.
But no one gives a fuck.
Yeah, because there's too many to police it.
I mean, yeah, if you've just passed your test,
if you get caught using a phone within the first two years,
you lose your licence.
Do you?
Yeah.
That's excellent.
Yeah.
I know you say that, but...
Yeah, they don't do anything about it.
Anyway, that stressed me out on the way home.
I thought, I don't need this. You're you're very very stressed tonight it's very unlike you actually
aggie i'm aggravated yeah she's walked in i was here literally the same time because i had joni
yeah and you're just yeah you're very aggie moaning about things it's not like you no it's
because she's not had not had a drink this week.
That is true.
I've had four days off the alcohol.
And how does it feel?
Well, Maggie.
Yeah.
Well, I'd like to think it isn't that, but it probably is.
No, but on top of being tired, being busy.
I'm not really tired.
I think I'm very, very busy.
Yeah.
Listen, I've given my liver a rest
For four days
Woohoo
I know but that's
I mean I don't know
Who I am mocking
You know can I just say
This is fucking unbelievable
Jeff
Because
You have never
Known someone
To drink alcohol
like this lady
next to me
hang on a second
no
no that is true
but I can handle it
I enjoy
a bottle
or two
and now she's pregnant
she's having a go at me
no but
no no no
and I said this is probably
the first time
I've given my body
a rest since it was you know
16 maybe even 15 yeah anyway let's not go there but yeah how does that feel do you know what it's
not bothered amazingly not as bad as I thought but I think you just you just have you know you
can't do it I think it's mother nature because again, I'm the same as you,
love a little drink and what have you,
but when you are pregnant,
you don't fancy it,
do you?
Yeah.
Oh, you do?
Oh, okay.
No, some days I don't.
Most days I don't.
You know,
when we have that nice day
of weather,
that one nice day.
Sorry,
have you ordered this summer
so you're not jealous
of the rose in
the garden have you tried to work with someone i have make it rain make it rain this is great
actually for this for the the growing of the human all sorts the the cool weather i'll take it
no i'm it's fine i'm happy for sun but no i think that's the hard is when the weather's good and
everyone's sort of sitting in the gardens having a rose.
That's difficult.
But otherwise, I'm all right, actually.
No, it's really good.
Some really good non-alcoholic alternatives.
Also, this could be quite awkward, but I do feel you're much calmer.
Wow.
I feel like you're a much calmer person being pregnant.
What do you think?
I think I'm just tired.
Yeah?
Taking the energy.
Yeah, I just...
You've usually got a bit too much energy,
and this is the other side of the...
I definitely feel different.
I don't feel that my usual hyperactive self,
but I think that's just how, you know,
and I know that I'm not there yet,
but I am because I'm waking up at five in the morning for no reason.
Just your body does these weird things, right?
And then I'm, yeah, I'm knackered
and you just feel a bit more tired, don't you, during the day?
I don't remember waking up early when I was pregnant.
No, because you could sleep standing up.
Oh, that's true.
Any day, any time.
That is true.
I have the gift of sleeper.
I'm a sleeper.
Yes.
I can go to work.
I mean, that's it.
I can't talk about that tonight.
I've never, ever known anyone in my life to do what you do and go i'm just
dropping eliza here and i'm just gonna have a nap for 20 minutes in the car literally could be
anywhere on the m25 on the a10 lean back traffic's not moving but she she could. She could. Yeah. I've never. It would take me an hour.
Not now.
Now I think I could probably do it a bit easier.
There's been the odd occasion.
But I'm not a napper.
You can sleep anywhere.
I can sit down at 3 o'clock, 3 p.m., set my alarm for 3.12,
and think I'm just going to have those 12 minutes
and I'll be asleep within 20 seconds.
That is a gift.
It is a gift.
Yeah, it takes me at least an hour, two hours, three hours to fall asleep.
Oh, leave off.
I used to do lots of night shifts and stuff
and I'd go to try and have a nap in like the sort of two hours in between or
whatever and i'd get 10 minutes i just can't it just doesn't switch off yeah you know like that
whole we used to all the girls before a night out oh we're just gonna have a little nap gonna have
a disco now never i would lay on that bed 20 minutes half hour would people be asleep yeah
oh yeah everyone else falls asleep around you and
then you're just like oh i'm bored oh yeah they text and say i just had a lovely nap and i think
i've just been laying here jack's the same though he can just sleep bang asleep i'll drift off just
before everyone else is waking up and it's like oh okay fine exactly and then i never feel better after
a nap i just feel groggy and grumpy well it all depends how long you have him yeah i'm a true
believer 20 minutes that sleep is a secret to old age what getting old living living longer living longer i presume okay well but there you go that's i'm
gonna do a full nap episode everybody actually please oh double seven double eight 2019 19
i'd really really appreciate your thoughts on napping can you nap the weirdest place you've
napped do you agree with napping?
Do you find it kind of lazy?
Because some people do.
Let's do a full-on nap episode because it's a passion of mine
and I'd like to talk about it.
The best nap you've ever had.
That's what I'd like to know because I've had some crackers.
Add that in.
I'm just checking that Chico hasn't got back to me
how did you DM him?
oh I'm gutted
what a shame you didn't do that sooner
I had a lovely message
from Queen Camilla that we've mentioned
before
and she said
my friend knows Chico want me to see if she can get a message from him
so i said yes please could he state in a voice note that he's alive and well in the next hour
or i could phone him for a couple of minutes between seven and eight what did she say back
i'll see what i can do and then she's put not red yet typical you will be the first to know if i get anything
but suspect he might reply to a dm sooner she is forwarding him the clip are recorded so fingers
crossed listen anything could happen it's 10 past 7 50 minutes is a long time there's still time but
i just thought it'd be really nice to just have a chat with him. Do you know what time it is? It's Chico time.
So I just think it would be nice to have a chat with him and sort of apologise for thinking he was dead.
Oh, that was so funny because I...
Did you think that?
I thought the exact same.
Thank God for that.
And I genuinely did.
And it wasn't...
Yeah, it's Darius.
It's a funny one, isn't it?
It's brilliant.
Poor Chico killed him off.
I know, but Mel said today, she texted me and she said,
you do realise Chico had a stroke,
which is why you might have thought he was dead.
So there's another...
I didn't know that.
No, never did I.
So I'd like to talk to him, only for a couple of minutes.
But it'd be nice to say hello.
I cannot thank you enough for all of your messages regarding the cost of living obviously it's such a massive subject that people
have been i think this is the most messages i've ever had about an ep so it's really kind of you
and obviously it gets people's goat going out and spending an absolute fortune on things.
I'm going to do a few little messages from people because I'm so honoured that you listen and you bother to message.
And I know you know that already, but I don't care.
I'm going to repeat it.
So these are from Instagram.
And some of them I disagree with.
So this is nice conversation.
Rachel Bobinson.
It's a lovely name.
I don't know if it's real.
I went to a local garden centre, pick your own farm, and I bought one, yes, one red pepper in the shop and it was $2.25.
How can they justify $2.25 for one red red pepper i'm opening up to the group thoughts please
i'd like to see the pepper oh because if it was if it was large really red i'm just going to
pay two pounds i'm happy because i think they're important as well. You can tell the difference between maybe a cheaper one.
I don't think I'm going to be able to get hold of that.
You carry on and we can edit this in.
Carry on.
Yeah, no, for me, I need to see the pepper.
Emma, your thoughts on a £2.25 pepper, please?
Yeah, too much, isn't it? Surely.
I think you can get a pack of three for that, can't you?
They are increasing in price.
Again, again, everything's going up in price.
Could you just, my favourite Google machine,
could you just have a little look at what three peppers are in Tesco's or Lidl's?
Sainsbury's is 210.
Yeah.
Ocado is 175 wow wow uh or the organic 385 for
three oh for three yeah and they're all good oh yeah that's yeah oh the sainsbury's ones are
organic as well two pound ten for three yeah the, the thing is you're very rarely buying just one.
Well, I know if I'm making a chilli or I'm buying two at least,
maybe three, so you're talking £7 on peppers.
That is crazy.
It's a pack of three.
No, I'm saying if you're buying Rachel's ones.
I see what you're saying, yeah.
That's a lot.
The non-organic Sainsbury's ones
£1.79
for three
and Lidl please
because the fruit and veg in Lidl
is very very fresh
and lasts a long time
currently on offer
at 45 pence per pepper
wow
organic? I don't believe so
i mean it's got as far as the pick of the weeks and luckily worth peppers on there because it
doesn't seem to just list standard prices okay and also you always throw away the green pepper
unless you're putting it in the chili no a green pepper is meant to go in the chilli
chilli con carne you want green pepper
I don't want a green pepper anywhere
on my plate
gives me acid
disgusting
nothing nice about it
I found the message
hi Rachel
please
can we have
photo she's not going to have the photo Rachel, please, can we have photo?
No, she's not going to have the photo.
What are you talking about?
No.
She might have a photo that she took to her friend
and said, this is taking the piss, 225.
No.
She ain't going to have the pepper.
Get her to describe it?
No, it's fine.
Good.
Anyway, I don't care.
I mean, unless the pepper is as big as that fucking whiteboard over there.
I bet you've paid that for a pepper in your farm shop.
No.
$2.25 is ridiculous.
Well, next time I go, I'm going to have a look.
No, do.
They won't be that.
In fact, I find the farm shop these days on a par.
We did have this conversation.
On a par with quite a lot of the supermarkets.
But how much is the Viennetta?
Oh, I wanted Viennetta the other night.
They had it.
We bought some ice creams to Domino and Lisa's.
Yeah.
And Jack wouldn't let me get the Viennetta.
He said it's all processed.
What, every ice cream?
I said, what are you talking about?
He just says things.
Yeah.

Jerry said recently bought three bottles of Tesco orange juice for £6,
olive oil, £8.40,
and 24 cans of Diet Coke for £10.
£24 for three items.
How is that possible?
Jerry Love.
Well, no.
It's 24, 25, 26, 27.
You've got 28 items.
For how much?
£24.
£24.
Pounds of the item.
This is a maths GCSE question. It's the olive oil because the coke... £24. Pounds of an item.
This is a maths GCSE question. It's the olive oil because the...
Oh, olive oil was very expensive at the moment.
So expensive, olive oil.
Because they had a bad harvest, I think.
It was Spain, the olives.
All right.
Michael Fish, I've read.
Jeremy Clarkson.
I have to say, though,
olive oil is something that I don't mind
like basic
olive oil just for sort of
cooking but for a salad dressing
or vegetables
I really don't mind
spending a lot of money
on olive oil because you can really tell
the taste. I agree. We were in a restaurant
the other day and the olive oil was so good i bought a bottle of it yeah i bought you some for your
birthday you know sort of birthday slash coming home from holiday but it's almost green oh yeah
beautiful you you i have to say but you're not using that all the time no you're not you're
dressing salads with that yeah someone has said here j here, JT Thomas Tripp has said.
Easy for you to say.
Yeah, I know.
JT Thomas Tripp has said,
£40 in the London M&M's store, literally just on M&M's.
Yeah, I mean, that again, tourist trap.
But why?
I know, but also, I mean, £40 on M&M's.
It's a little bit silly, isn't it?
Yeah.
It's silly. Very silly. That's a lot bit silly isn't it yeah it's silly very silly
that's a lot of money
on chocolate
just to have the bag
the yellow bag
I think so
go round the corner
if I spent
£40 on M&M's
I'd want the little bloke
to knock at the door
of the M&M
with the legs and the arms
and go
I need your M&M's
that's what I'd want
for £40
you can get custom printed
ones in there
and everything
yeah that's pretty cool.
I've never been a fan.
I'm not interested.
I've got no interest whatsoever.
No, yeah, who goes there?
A lot of people.
There's queues and everything.
People are obsessed with it.
It's definitely a tourist trap.
It's mad.
Yeah, that is.
It's mad, isn't it?
And also, it's Leicester Square.
Yeah, I've got to.
But I would want the M&M turning up with the arms and legs
The real one
The human one
Knocking on the door
The real one the human one
You know what I mean
But they're animated so I don't know
They're computer graphics
I'm sure there's a costume
I don't know why I'm doing that
No one does Ellie Smith Hart I'm sure there's a costume. I don't know why I'm doing that.
No, it does.
Ellie Smith Hart, and I might get that wrong.
Apologies if I have.
She said 70 pounds on two kids in the soft play with lunch.
You bought two kids from a soft play?
You can sell them now.
70 quid.
Cheap.
That's a lot of money that is what soft play
but again
what soft play
are we talking
we don't know
we don't know
where we are
but no soft play
can be that much
I don't know
there's a lot going on
there's a lot going on
yeah that's a lot
that's obscene
little message here
from Stuart
which wraps up
the freezing of milk
for my lovely niece
in law
Annalisa can I just say yeah I am the one that really curses her for that
and I'm gutted that I weren't a part of it.
And the way I feel that it's made it to the pod is everything.
Are you proud?
I'm so happy because that is an absolute corker.
Yeah.
So yeah, Annalia, I hope you're pleased with that.
Stuart said, listening to today's pod, I too freeze milk along with butter and fresh veg.
We are that frugal.
We also take frozen mints and new potatoes in our hold luggage for an overseas holiday.
And the fact we take a holiday walk and salad spinner
is a whole different story.
I'm not going into that.
I'm not going in.
Maybe they get there and they have it on the first night.
That's all I can think of.
If it's frozen and you're doing a journey to Spain,
well, airport, that's...
It's quite a lot.
Two hours getting there, two hours free security,
two hours on the flight, two hours getting to that hotel
to then cook it in a...
That's not good.
No, no, they've got a holiday walk they take.
I'm guessing the holiday walk is electric
and I reckon they do the mints in their room
anyway
I thought maybe they stayed in a villa
but oh yeah
maybe
sorry I'm freaking out
hotels
you know me I'm so extra
don't go on holiday
don't know what I'm talking about
that's true
she's going away this year
so she thinks she can be cocky about holidays
first time I've gone abroad in
no you went last year.
Six years.
I know, but that was a wedding.
Like an actual holiday.
A holiday.
Was Puglia.
Wow.
And that was what...
All thanks to me.
Joanie was two.
So yeah, six years ago.
I'm so happy for you.
Because I don't know what your phobia is.
I don't know what your problem is.
Get on a plane and go on holiday.
I know, I'm not really into holidays.
I don't get it.
But you are, just in the same place every year.
So much to see.
I know, but I love Cornwall.
No, but that's fine.
Yeah.
But do that every other year or a couple of, you know,
you can do a long weekend and then, but I just, yeah.
Ellie is really, really good. She's like my holiday therapist and she's like let's
we never know what the weather's going to be like don't you?
Yeah but because then she goes to Cornwall and it's raining the whole time and it's like yeah
but you know we had the pool that's all well and good but if you're in a different country
you're guaranteed the weather even if the weather's not great you can go and explore
go into the towns the villages and again you're you know it doesn't mean you've got to do the holidays i like to do
but it's nice you can do anything going to italy going to greece going like there's so many
places to see i just think it's mad i just like getting up at three o'clock in the morning
chucking all the luggage in the car the night before, getting the kids in the car with their pyjamas on.
Never put the luggage in the car the night before.
We always do.
No, that freaks me out. Jack wants to do that sometimes, doesn't he?
Because I think, what if you get up and your car's been stolen or someone's robbed all your suitcases? Where are you going?
Would you not go to sleep at night ever if all the stuff that was in your house you worried about a burglary?
Well, no, I don't.
No, we don't.
That's a whole other story.
My point is, you're all excited to go on holiday.
It's like putting your Christmas presents in your car the night before.
You're not doing it, are you?
No.
It's a five-minute job.
That is absolutely crazy when you think of what we're like,
because it's irrelevant.
Well, it's not irrelevant. No, because no one knows the presents are in your car no i know but what if that night someone
went around robbing cars and your car got stolen and then all your stuff is in it at least if you
wake up in your car stolen you might you can find a way there at least you've got you i mean you've
got your suitcases i know what you're saying but what if you're at home and everything
in your possession that you love in the house goes because one night someone's going around
robbing houses of course but that's ridiculous i i fully get what you're saying but why would you
add an element of risk okay why would you do that when at three in the morning you could just wheel
your suitcases out you might put a few bits in there, I don't know, bag a tap.
But your key things, because if I woke up to go on holiday at three in the morning and went outside,
the car wasn't there with all the suitcases in, you're not going anywhere.
That's in all your stuff.
You've made it very easy for someone, haven't you? So may I just, let's extend this conversation to the fact that when I go to an airport
and I put my case on the, what's that called?
The belt.
The belt.
Yeah.
I think I'm giving, where is that going and am I going to see it again?
And that stresses me out.
Yeah, see, that's weird because of the way i am
that does not stress me out and i think all my stuff's in there and i don't know where it's going
who's handling it and i've now just got to leave that now but do you not lock it do you not put a
lock on it with code so no one can get in it no no well of course you don't i've heard a few cases
of on the long train journeys people have had their bags nicked off it now recently really if
you leave it in the luggage thing yeah i wouldn't cases of that i wouldn't on a train but i think a
plane the chances there are occasion that you're not going you might not get it as in you could
turn up and it might not be there touch wood that's never happened it's mostly computers
getting confused because you will you will get it yeah you'll get it back eventually but that's why i always say
pack if you've if you've got three suitcases always mix a bit so you've got a couple of a
day in a night outfit oh it's a lot though no i know but you won't be saying that when you get
there and your mark's got his case and the kids and you haven't and all your stuff is in one case
whereas if you'd have put a day outfit and a night outfit in one of those,
at least you've got something to get you by until your case arrives
or you go to the shop.
My lovely agent, Scott, sent me an email the other night,
and he said, oh, I've just thought of one.
Do an episode on packing.
That's so weird, because when we spoke the other night,
because obviously I'm packing soon, I was going to say to you about packing.
So I think we might have to do a little Zoom.
We'll have a Zoom with Scott, Elves, whatever,
and we'll do a little packing ep.
Because the stress that goes into packing a suitcase
is definitely worth an hour.
I've got to start house packing soon, hopefully.
Oh, that is hell.
That's the pits.
I packed up my old house in the middle of an extremely busy time
At EastEnders
Mark was away
And I was doing 12 hour days coming home
And packing until 3 o'clock in the morning
And I packed my house up on my own
Impressive
On my own
Yeah I couldn't do that it's a hard one the packing yeah you'll be
fine yeah just don't worry about it until it's it'll be absolutely fine i'm very good at packing
i'll come and help you for a day hi nat absolutely loving your podcast. Sorry, I can't speak. I've just come out of the gym.
So I have a question.
Just wondered how many of your listeners are listening to you whilst in the gym?
Hang on a minute, Nikki.
That is very specific.
Imagine if we had an analytics program that told us where people were when they were listening.
Good to know.
It's interesting.
It is interesting.
But yeah, okay, everybody, let me know if you listen at the gym and make me feel bad that I've not been at the gym for ages absolutely love it um doing
weights at the moment tend to go after I've dropped the kids to school or if the husband's
off like now um I've snuck away right on school time so he's stitched with that excellent anyway
keep going look forward to listening to them every time. Anyway, bye. So that was lovely.
Thank you so much, Nicky, and I'm so pleased you listened.
I had another one regarding the gym.
Oh, my God.
Right.
I decided this morning I was going to force myself to go to the gym.
And I thought the only way I was going to be able to get myself through the gym
is by putting on one of your podcasts.
I put on the Fashion Vogue podcast.
I was on the running machine, running away, enjoying myself, listening, laughing along,
and then you make me laugh so hard that I spat my water out and pissed myself at the
same time.
Put it this way, I'm never going back to the gym.
I am absolutely mortified, and I'm now going home to have a shower and show you my cut.
But yeah, honestly, I've never laughed so hard in my life.
That is fantastic.
That's out for me, you else.
That's one reason to get yourself out and go back to the gym.
I might use that one.
Brilliant.
That is hilarious.
Thank you so much.
Do you like my new whiteboard?
Yeah, it's all right.
Why is it just okay?
Oh, I don't know.
I just think...
No, it's not...
I mean, it's just a whiteboard.
I know, but the problem I've got is I can't kind of fix it to a wall
because of the material in the room.
No, no, it's fine like that, but is it necessary?
Oh, what, to have it?
Well, yeah, it's just, I don't know.
Maybe.
I just feel a bit productive with it in the room.
Yeah, it's one of those things.
I bought a really large one.
Yeah, I do this.
You buy books for lists and this and nice pens and organisers
and it all lasts all of five minutes again, just a waste of money.
Yeah, but I think I'm gonna use it speaking of
amazon parcels oh yeah as it says up there amazon parcels not sure if that's to remind you to buy
some more but not not the cost of things but that having amazon they're available and most most apps
yeah but amazon actually is a killer.
Like it's an addiction that I might have to delete the app.
What was the last thing you bought on there?
Let's have a little look at your history.
Emma, whilst Ellie is getting up the Amazon history,
are you a fan of Amazon?
Do you use it often?
I use it.
I feel guilty about using it
because it's too easy to use
and it's too bad for the... Whole world.... bad for the consumerism and everything, isn't it?
But yeah, I do.
No, I like to buy from small independent shops.
Of course.
But sometimes it's just a necessity.
So the last thing I ordered was a small little bird,
which is a live pets.
Alfie reminded me the other day that his was broken or lost and asked me if I would buy him one.
So I got it sent to him.
And the next day he said, I said, you'll get it tomorrow after school.
He said, oh, is there one more sleep until school?
So he couldn't believe he was going to get it the next day.
And he was very grateful.
A mini fan mom
mom actually uses this more than me and it's my subscription so okay um that's that's a shame
but yeah it's just just anything i've done a lot on jack's one to be fair jack's done it and he's
been adding but the amazon thing is just crazy let's have a look at what I last got on there. I agree with you.
It's a crazy thing.
And if it doesn't come the next day, I'm furious.
If I don't switch on my Prime thing, I'm not interested unless it comes tomorrow.
Oh, no.
Absolutely.
Really bad, though.
My orders.
Here we go.
Oh.
Excuse me. Something i desperately needed i wasn't going to go anywhere else to get it it was a usb c-hub hdmi adapter which i needed for my laptop
and em actually sent me the link didn't you darling yeah i'm part of the problem encouraging you onto Amazon absolutely
it's amazing
but where would you go
I mean
well I could
I could get in the car
and I could pop down to Curry's
but when I get to Curry's
if they have it
they might not have it
it's really hard
no there's certain things
you just need
you need them
there and then
agreed
even the same day
delivery stuff
is that i did that last week did a food shop it's brilliant didn't want to go out
just didn't want to leave the house i'd had a busy week sunday did not want to go out
did a delivery probably 10 10 30 a.m to arrive between two and four
lovely yeah that is that's excellent the
prime food stuff that is very good yeah very good and that's nice that all comes out in in comes in
brown paper bags feel a bit american yes that's good is it good to feel american no it's good to
be using brown paper bags rather than plastic correct cyclable yeah yeah but that does you
know like an american show when the mum comes
home with the two bags i've always wanted to love i've always wanted you know in american show
where they get chinese oh and the proper and they get the little boxes yeah i've always wanted that
there is actually a place locally that does that really Really? Yeah. What place? I can't remember the name.
We got it once.
Really?
It is Chinese, but it's not my kind of Chinese.
Okay.
Do you get what I mean?
Not really.
It's a shit Chinese.
No.
Is that what you mean?
Maybe sort of Chinese, but more Asian fusion.
Oh, okay.
So, yeah, nice.
I can't remember the name.
I'll have to find out.
I'll do,
because I'd love a little white box
and friends and stuff
when you watch stuff.
Love that.
Love friends.
I know you do.
You go to sleep to it,
don't you, Bump?
Every night.
Every night.
I
have to be controversial
and when I put it on now now it doesn't overly bother me
yeah that's crazy yeah it doesn't maria's not though i don't feel like even she she used to
love it and she sort of got us into it she never says about watching i put it on every single night
i probably do i do the whole series from 1 to 12 in about a month but half of it i
don't watch because it's on while i'm asleep right and do you know i mean it keeps going until
that's another lovely subject there that we slide right into emma do you go to bed with the television
on no podcasts okie dokie just ours and other ones you work on no i can't once i've worked on it i can't listen to it again
i mean you have to listen to it about four times yeah it was it hits its limit but i have a a
playlist of ones that i can listen to in the day and ones i can listen to nice and that was i was
going to ask you is there a specific genre that you can and can't listen to before bed yeah like storytelling are the nighttime ones
and lots of the humor comedy stuff is all daytime oh okay i need the stuff that's less kind of
engaging more kind of storytelling kind of stuff that's at night yeah i thought you were going to
say maybe like true crime in the day oh yeah crime and comedy is day time stuff because there is
absolutely no way on earth would i go to bed watching something remotely
scary jumpy you know just even like no even straight into the dreams yeah i've got it needs
to be a really chill like a friend's easy so it whatever we watch
i need to allow at least half an hour to watch an episode to just wind down no i get it i'd go for a
quiz show university challenge or a garden as well definitely send you to sleep i love university
challenge but you don't watch the telly to go to bed.
We do now.
Do you?
Yeah, we do sometimes.
Not all the time.
We'll put a podcast on and just put the timer on or the telly will be on sleep mode and we'll have it on.
I find it mad that people don't have tellies in their rooms.
I would love to not have a television in my room.
I did for years.
Years and years, Mark and i never had a
telly i think i never got to sleep no you wouldn't be able to go to sleep never go to sleep and i
even like we've got a thing that the remotes get placed in a certain place of the bed so like i
have like a little pillow situation one pillow sets up one down the remotes go on the pillows pillows or cushions pillows in bed cushions
on sofas thank you i think yeah you're right and then so if i wake up in the night and i'm i can't
get back to sleep remote bang i know where it is telly goes on friends back on three in the morning
four in the morning any whatever time i cannot then go back to sleep until, but generally I'm asleep in an instant.
But psychologically that telling needs to go back on.
Otherwise that's it.
I'm done.
I hear everything.
Every noise, any little noise, someone's downstairs.
Like forget it.
Elliot and I have a real issue.
We've been on our own at home.
It's another whole episode, I'm afraid.
It's another whole episode.
But I'm just very, very grateful
to have somebody who lives
three minutes from me,
as Elliot does,
that understands how I feel.
I think I'm worse than you, actually.
Yeah, I do.
I do think you're worse than me, but.
Well, I've never done it.
I've never done it.
You've never done what?
I've never stayed in the house on my own.
In my home.
Having lived there for nearly five years.
Overnight.
No.
Never.
That will blow your mind I live alone
so I
every night
every night
no and
do you know
yeah it's mad
I couldn't do it
but anyway
yeah that's the whole
it's another situation
07788
2019
are you just trying to
like squeeze more reps out
because we've got a couple
lines up now
no
well you brought it up.
No, it's true.
No, it is a whole episode.
I'd love to know
if there's got to be
other people out there
like that.
And also,
if not,
if you're some sort of
therapist
that can help me
through this,
then I'll also
get in touch
because I'd love that.
We always say, though, we'd actually like to get some help.
Oh, I would love to feel relaxed at home.
Yeah.
The last couple of nights I've been really good.
Mark's been out till midnight, but that's the difference.
I know he's coming home.
So it's very, very different.
Psychologically, I know he's on his way home.
I put the telly on.
I leave a couple of lights on downstairs.
I know he's on his way home. I put the telly on. I leave a couple of lights on downstairs. I know he's coming home.
When he's not here and I'm on my own, it is really not, I'm in a bad way.
I feel very, very panicked.
I find it really, really disconcerting.
Put the children to bed and I'm on my own
and I know that I've got a whole night's sleep on my own
because every creak, any noise outside,
immediately I'm like, oh my God, we're going to be burgled.
It's horrible.
It's a horrible feeling.
But do you know what as well?
Like my friends, they all know.
So if like, it's like, oh, I won't leave yet.
Jack's on his way home or like everyone knows the deal
or like people will stay with me because they get it
like telling bless her the amount of time she's like come over with her little boy and actually
had a sleepover yeah because they know like jack's not in for the night yeah it's terrible
oh you ring me and you come here yeah or that yeah or i'll stay up i've stayed at mum's couple
of times i'll just listen anyone that will take me and from october we'll be with a newborn child so anyone that
would say well that's what i said i said i'm gonna have to get the cot up i'm just gonna have to have
a cot in the spare room yeah between you and mum we're excellent yeah we're okay mums all set up
we'll get one set up here and i'll be good i'll be good to go it'll be fine it'll be good
it's a hard thing it's a hard thing feeling very nervous on your own.
And it's not really the fact, I love being on my own.
I can go for dinner on my own.
I like, you know, theatre on my own.
I'm not, I'm a super confident person.
Yeah.
Outside of the house.
Excellent.
It's about the darkness also.
Because I don't care about being on my own during the day.
Yeah, it's the anxiety.
I mean, it's the anxiety i mean it's
all the crime watch fear you know all of that falls and the creeks come in and i think someone
is walking up my stairs now and i'm gonna have a heart attack now and yet my mum again how we are the same blood mum will be at home on her own wake up at three in the morning
and say oh yeah i couldn't sleep and i watched that that film or have you ever seen it
the exorcist and i'm like are you gone in the head yeah she does that's true
honestly some people can they're brave some people
yeah won't
won't internalise it
in a way that they're like
I am fearing
for my life here
you know
some of us
take it too
but who does that
yeah ring her
ring her
and I want to know
what the last
let me ask her actually
hi love
hello darling
you alright
yeah you
yeah we're just in the middle
you alright mum
Els is here hello Els you all right yeah yeah yeah we're just in the middle of them else is here hello else you're all right yeah good mum i was just saying how i'm scared of
absolutely everything but yet you will sit and do watch a film in the middle of the night
out of interest yeah or series what's the last thing you've watched at two in the morning?
Maybe on your own, because that happens quite a lot.
Yeah, the other night I watched a film,
and I can't remember what it's called.
It's called something like 13,006 Days or something.
It's about a young girl that was kidnapped from school
and spent seven years in a basement. No way. And young girl that was kidnapped and spent
seven years in a basement.
And you watched that at what time?
I think I started
watching it about 11
ish.
I finished it
about 1 ish. And you were on your own?
Yeah.
See that for me.
We're on the pod. Sorry Lynn we had to phone you because I said
I don't know how
she's your daughter
because you can just
do stuff like that
yeah it's bizarre
isn't it
how people
yeah
I don't know how
yeah yeah
you and you Natalie
oh I'm terrible
yeah no that's what
we're talking about
we just got onto the subject
but yeah it's not
we don't do it on purpose
it's horrible
no I know
you know I walk with Tina.
Yeah.
She's the same.
Is she?
Well, Martin went away and she said,
oh, let's walk back to mine so I can just get my stuff
and I'm sleeping at Dan's tonight.
Oh, I love that.
I love that.
Tina can come round for our sleepovers.
So Tina will come and stay with me and the baby.
Tell Tina next time she's on her own, she can get round to us.
It's funny.
And that's what I said to her.
I said, yeah, you're like Elia and Nat.
Do you know what?
That makes me feel so much better.
Well, because someone who's a little bit older than you is no different.
Yeah, and because you are just completely the opposite.
I wouldn't even be able to watch normal telly
where there could be a scary advert.
Do you know what?
I have to put friends...
I have to put...
So there's no adverts that could throw me off.
Oh, no.
I watch the most scariest things.
Although now, because of you saying things like that, Elle,
it does make me think
sometimes
I better not watch that
because I might
I might actually
scare myself
because I think
if you let your mind
go there
then that's it
you've freaked yourself out
but that's the problem
for me
there's no
there isn't a thought process
about where my mind goes
I hear a creak
and that's it
someone's in my house
and I'm going to die
yeah because look where you're letting your mind go.
No, but I can't.
I don't know how to not let my mind go there.
Yeah.
Yeah, and same for me.
And I'll make it worse and then I'll start thinking.
Then I'm thinking of an exit plan.
Then I'm thinking, and then next thing my heart is,
and I'm like, I'll just, I'll be dead.
What was your excuse when you were little girls
and you wouldn't sleep
on your own
was it the same thing
yeah
I think so
yeah I've been
I remember going
and asking if you'd
locked all the doors
and going downstairs
and checking all the
windows and the doors
and I'd be 8 years old
that is mad
because I've
and you know that
I'm the same
I used to sleep
on my mum's floor
yeah and I remember
your mum saying to me
I said oh my god I can't believe you've got all
these bedrooms and you're all sleeping on the same landing in practically the same room and
she said yeah because Natalie says it's not fair because if anyone's to break in
that they'd get to her floor your floor before they would get to your mum's floor that's right
but that is fair that that townhouse situation freaks me out.
Couldn't do that.
So you were lower.
I was lower than my mum and dad.
So I slept on a landing, basically.
I had a single bed on a landing.
I've done that many a time.
Slept on the floor in mum's room, slept on the floor in my own room.
Carnage.
Anyway, Lynn, this isn't one of our usual three hour calls because Emma's on a zoom
waiting for me
see you later
bye mum
love you
bye
bye girls
bye
oh I found out the name
of the film that she
I gave it a search
so it was
I think it's
3096 days
and it's about
someone who was
spent eight years
kidnapped in a basement
I'm pleased it was that one
and not that
365 days oh that's all about sex isn't it was that one and not that 365 days.
Oh, that's all about sex, isn't it?
Isn't that a sex one?
Yeah, yeah.
Maybe that's what she meant.
You're eating your toe now.
Yes.
I just did pick it off.
Why?
You can't do that.
I always do. She's sat here eating her toe now. Why? You can't do that. I always do.
She's sat here eating her toe now.
Why?
And she's chewing on it.
Why are you eating your toe now?
Not even a little.
Well, it was just a little bit.
It was hanging off a little bit.
And I just thought, well, I'll just take that off and yum, yum, yum.
No, it's just something to chew, isn't it?
It's like a toothpick almost.
Is it?
That is...
Is it though?
Oh, God.
I'll take it out.
Everyone's already got me.
Oh, now it's just on the table.
Yeah, I mean, you're going on about it.
I've just had a shower
and I'm as clean as a whistle
and it's my toenail.
They do actually say your feet are
cleaner than your hands but that is rank okay but we are the cassadys because you don't do anything
like that anyway can i just quickly tell you as we've been on the phone to mum as well yeah i was
about 14 or whatever and i went in because i always went into mum's room kissed her and said
good night she was laying on the bed and she used to have these yoghurts from M&S.
I know what you're going to say.
And it was half, like three quarter yoghurt and then a quarter of like muesli.
It's sort of like a granola.
Like a mullalite.
But more granola, crunchy.
Yes, like the crunchy corner ones.
Yeah, really lovely.
And so she'd have one of them often.
There was one on the side and I gave her a kiss, said night mum. And there was a bit of yoghurt left in the pot and I thought lovely. And so she'd have one of them often. There was one on the side. And I gave her a kiss, said, no, mum.
And there was a bit of yoghurt left in the pot.
And I thought, lovely.
So I've done the spoonful and I've put it in.
And she's gone, no, no, no, no.
I said, what?
I thought it was the granola.
She went, I've just cut all my toenails and put it in there.
I promise you, I've done a whole scoop of toenails and yogurt.
Gaggy.
Luckily, I spat it all straight back out.
I hadn't swallowed and chewed.
But it's your mum's toenails.
No, but still.
Better, worse, what are we talking here?
And yeah, that's true.
And I've told quite a few people that story.
So you crack on and munch on your toe now.
Or that'll be in the bolognese tonight.
Are there any stories that you have for me, listeners,
about mistaken foods?
So my brother Tony, I remember him.
Was it Tony or David?
See, I've got to get the facts right.
It was one of my brothers was absolutely hammered
and he come in one night and he ate all of the potpourri,
thinking it was a sweet bowl.
No.
Yes.
No way.
How gone have you got to be to do that?
I did.
One of them did.
I think I will never.
The toenails is probably the worst I've been.
But yeah, if anyone's got any stories of finding things in their food or.
There wasn't much reaction from YouTube.
If people could have seen your faces just then.
Oh.
Emma's hands were getting closer and closer to her eyes
I was going to take the headphones off
I was really feeling quite gaggy
and then it was like
really yeah
it's not cute
yeah she'd had a right little session
cutting her toenails
oh yeah the texture
and do you know what everyone's response was
why did your mum put them in the yogurt
because she'd finished the pot
she'd finished the yogurt and she was in her bedroom and then she was going to go down and put it in the
bin i think that's absolutely yeah of course like no it's absolutely fair yeah what rather than
being just on the floor yeah like no i can see just make the use of the rubbish no i understand No, I understand that completely. Yeah. Completely.
This is a lovely message from Dee.
Have a listen to this. Hi, Natalie.
Love in the pod.
It's Dee from Broxbourne.
Local.
We went to Gran Canaria in April
and my little boy decided
he wanted to go into this bar.
It was full of like trees
and it was like jungly fired.
So me and my husband said,
oh, come on then,
we'll go to this little bar
after we've had our dinner.
I think you mean a rainforesty.
I order a cocktail,
my husband orders a cocktail
and my son orders a mocktail.
Anyway, we said,
come on, it's time,
we've got to go now,
it's getting late.
Got the bill 95 euros for free drinks no i can't stop laughing because on that night it was his treat to pay oh wow but as you say you're on holiday he didn't stop moaning about it for the
rest of the holiday so we're going back again
but we're not
taking him with us
this time
keep doing what
you're doing babes
love ya
oh dear
that is a lot of money
95 euros
for three drinks
and one of them
wasn't even alcoholic
that'll be one of the
drinks will have
included like a
really expensive
whiskey or something
something like that
it'll have one
mad ingredient there.
They've gone to the nice premium part of the list.
That is crazy.
Oh, you'd be absolutely gutted, wouldn't you?
I'd be gutted.
Talking of toenails, Tracy said,
fucking hell, why would that lady even admit
that her husband's toenails are that long enough
to rip her bedsheets?
Maybe we could all treat him to a pedi.
Have a little fundraiser.
Also, why the hell is she not telling him to cut them?
Tracy was absolutely livid about that.
I'll get mum on the case.
And this is why sometimes when I'm sat here,
my lovely clean toenails, I'll just have a little...
Little fiddle.
Just a personal fiddle.
No, I don't nibble them.
I can't get my leg up high enough anymore.
Anymore?
You would if you could.
Anymore?
I would if you could.
We've all been there.
I've got one actually hanging.
Mine's actually split.
Do you want me to help you?
Give me a bite?
No, no, because I'm saving it for the...
Straight into Natalie's mouth?
For the...
Oh, no.
Has it come off?
Has it come off?
I don't know why it's gone.
Your sister had a split toe nail the other day.
No, it's really bad.
Like halfway.
Heather Jarvis said,
Hi, I'm Heather.
I'm holiday in Jersey.
Went for a sandwich at lunchtime.
Crab sandwich, £17.50 with a few crisps and a salad.
Crab though, isn't it?
Yeah.
Sandwich though.
Still.
I know, but it's crab.
It's white meat.
Yeah, it's crab.
Crab's expensive crab
lobster
crustaceans
don't have crustaceans
if you don't want to
spend a lot of money
yeah no
that's what's bumping it
it is just a sandwich
but it's crab
yep
also
just back to toenails
I had a whole
half a toenail
hanging off
that was really sore
and it's now
no longer attached to my foot.
Well, that's great.
Well, no, because it's somewhere in your house.
Well, that's okay.
So just so you know, there'll be a toenail knocking about.
Snack for Natalie later.
Sorted.
I don't think I deserve this grief.
I think I used to eat your dad's toenails when I was little.
Yeah, but my dad used to eat mine.
Well, there you go.
It's a Cassidy thing.
There you go.
Weird, weird people.
Helen Bishenden said she went to Chessington World of Adventures.
She got a milkshake.
She spent £9.95 each on her kids' milkshakes, nearly £20.
Wow. And have a look kid's milkshakes. Nearly 20 quid.
Wow.
And have a look at the size of them.
They are in, what would you call that, a small ice cream cup. Like a sundae, if you've got like a little sundae.
You know, like a small sundae cup.
It looks unbelievable though.
Like a small in a coffee shop, yeah.
Oh.
You think milkshake, you think big, you know, wow, like a large.
Yeah.
Very, very small.
That milkshake wouldn't bring all
the boys to the yard would it certainly wouldn't start even bringing one boy to the yard that's
like half the boy small lovers to go halfway to the yard i have to say it looks excellent
and i would like one of those i reckon that's like an oreo and then a bisco off one. Do you? Yeah, it looks good. Oh, sweet too.
I could pop a one where they whiz up the actual biscuits into it.
Sauce, cream on top, actual crumbs off the biscuit.
Yeah, no, I'd pay a tenner for that.
You would?
All day long.
What's Lorraine got to say?
Hello, ladies.
My name's Lorraine.
I wanted to tell you how much I'm enjoying the pod.
You're all amazing.
I laugh a lot and nod my head a lot.
You're doing great.
Carry on because I'm loving it.
I just wanted to give you a little story of me buying something that I felt was very overpriced.
I was going to do a lovely Christmas dinner and somebody at my work knew somebody that had a turkey farm.
So they said, gave me a card, go and order your turkey from there.
I thought, oh, I'll show off.
You know, normally I just go to Sainsbury's or somewhere and ordered this turkey.
Was very excited to go and pick it up.
My husband was waiting outside, dropped me off.
Lorraine, it's over a minute.
I've got to speed you up.
And all of a sudden he heard, how much?
The lady said, I can't even remember how much it was.
I mean, it was over a hundred quid.
I said, oh my God, I wasn't expecting to pay that.
She went, well, it's bronzed.
So I said, bronzed?
Where's it got, the Bahamas?
Has it been on holiday?
Needless to say, yes, I did buy it
because I tortured it and I felt obliged.
But I came out of there with this bloody great turkey
and thought, I can't believe it.
That's sort of money. Anyway, from then then on always sainsbury's m&s anyway lovely
ladies speak to you soon right lorraine there's gonna be a large episode on christmas turkeys
and christmas paraphernalia christmas oh my i know anyway we're in june so we're not going to
talk about it however for a bronze turkey from a butcher's, I've got to tell you,
you said it was very large also.
Oh, yeah.
What size is it?
We don't know the pounds or the kgs, as we say now.
120 quid for a turkey is not a lot of money.
If you are getting a Kelly bronze turkey, you've had a bargain.
But again, that's all depending on what you...
It's what you know, of course.
And you're saying M&S turkeys.
M&S crown last year.
I can't remember now with the stuff.
A hundred quid.
So you've just said you've walked out of a butcher
where you know where it's been grown.
You know where it is.
Quality.
Bronze quality.
And you said it was really big, whole large turkey.
It's Christmas Come on
It's alright
And I bet it was bloody lovely
You've not told me what it tastes like
Send me a message Lorraine
I want to know what it was like
I bet it was like butter
Well it depends if you cooked it well
Because that's also key
Nah I can't even go there
I was thinking about today
I was thinking about the programme We can't even go there i was thinking about today i was thinking about the program
we can't even go there but uh i and i understand it's of course i'm not stupid of course it's a
lot of money but i'm just making you aware that i am quite an expert when it comes to
christmas foods and things. An expert?
I'm not an expert.
Okay, I'm not an expert.
I'm a enthusiast.
You go the full, the whole hog.
We do.
We don't.
Everything is, you know, fresh, prepared.
Anyway, I don't even think we can enter.
No, we can't.
That's what I say.
We can't enter. All I'm saying is is as an enthusiast of the christmas bird it doesn't sound overly
extreme if she said she came out with a whacking great bronze turkey absolutely agree yeah yeah
i agree it's when you're not expecting a price isn't it it's when you're not expecting it or
you have another expectation,
i.e. going to Sainsbury's every year and you've spent, I don't know, what, 40 quid, 50?
I don't know, yeah, but I get it.
If you're used to a certain amount for a certain thing and that's suddenly doubled, it's a lot.
But let us know what it tasted like.
We'll have a little chat about that at Christmas.
Thank you, Lorraine.
David's got something to say.
Hi, Nat. Just halfway through Lorraine. David's got something to say. Hi, Nat.
Just halfway through episode 14.
Talking about Euro Disney.
I can't believe you didn't realise
the best person to go to Euro Disney with
is with a pregnant woman
because you get a free fast pass on every ride.
So whilst they can't go on a lot of the rides,
everybody else gets fast pass.
So you don't have to queue.
What? We need to book disney
like now for like we've got two months to go i don't want to go okay well you can get your fast passes because i'm pregnant i don't like it there oh i'm not interested go with someone else that
likes yeah okay i'll go with maria and the kids. Okay, good luck.
See you later.
Book it up.
Book the old Disney hotel.
Off you go.
I can't get any...
I can't go on the rides.
I know, but the fast pass is good.
But I'm wondering, is that a new thing?
Not one person said that.
No one mentioned that to us.
And it was so hot as well.
But the bit you were most complaining about
wasn't the queuing.
It was all the terrible food and how expensive that was.
I know, but it would have helped not to queue.
Oh, the queuing wasn't actually as bad as I think it could have been,
but we bought fast passes.
That's why.
Yeah.
We all had fast pass.
So thank you, David.
He's a really, really regular listener and he always sends me a note.
Oh, that's lovely. So thanks, David. Thank you, David. He's a really, really regular listener and he always sends me a note. Oh, that's lovely.
So thanks, David.
Thank you so much.
Well, I think we've had a little roundup of a few things.
Chico hasn't got back in touch.
We've gone on a few tangents, haven't we, tonight?
I think it's nice.
I think that's what it's about.
I mean, if you don't go on a tangent me and Kate had all day together
genuinely from about
10 till 5
and we didn't cover so many things
because we started one thing and ended up
on like a whole other story
it's funny isn't it
it's life isn't it, it's good though
never enough time is there
there's never enough time and thank god I'm doing this
twice a week because tonight I could sit here and talk for another four hours.
You haven't mentioned anything to do with the Peloton, which we were going to talk about.
That's another issue.
We haven't mentioned anything really to do with the Amazon orders.
Yeah, no.
But again, that's a whole other storyher story my eyes about to swell up with
